- Enhanced cyber resilience capabilities with air-gapped and immutable backups.
- Unified platform reducing operational costs and complexity.
- Strategic alignment with the growing container management market (90% G2000 adoption by 2027).
Commvault (CVLT, Financial) has announced it is expanding its Kubernetes protection services to support virtual machines running on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. This enhancement, which offers unified cyber resilience for virtual machines and containers, is facilitated through the Commvault Cloud platform.
The new solution provides air-gapped, immutable backups, flexible recovery options, and streamlined management of hybrid workloads. Key features include robust cyber resilience against ransomware threats and both in-place and out-of-place virtual machine restoration capabilities. This service will initially be available to early adopters in early summer 2025, with broader availability expected in early fall 2025.
This strategic move comes as Gartner predicts that by 2027, 90% of G2000 companies will use container management tools, with the Containers as a Service market projected to reach $44 billion by 2034. This highlights the growing demand for integrated protection solutions in hybrid cloud environments.
By enabling automated discovery, protection, and recovery of virtual machines on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, Commvault reduces operational silos, offering customers a unified platform that decreases total cost of ownership and enhances business continuity amid rising ransomware threats.
"We're proud to deepen our collaboration with Red Hat through support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization," stated Pranay Ahlawat, Commvault's Chief Technology and AI Officer. This partnership aims to deliver industry-leading data protection and cyber resilience solutions for their joint customers operating in hybrid environments.
